Young children develop and learn in the context of relationships with their parents, other family members, and childcare providers. Creating a supportive and nurturing environment is key to healthy social-emotional development. It creates a foundation for developing emotional maturity and social competency. We will discuss practical strategies to empower young learners to understand and regulate their emotions, and learn effective problem-solving skills.
